Spring Break Project

I recently purchased a new television. My old television fit well in a wardrobe from my bedroom furniture.  The new television just wouldn't fit.  It just so happened that we were having a parking lot sale for our upcoming mission trip to Alaska, which we raised a whopping $1300.00! Anyway...I was interested in purchasing a little something I could refinish on my own for my new t.v. This little green monster was screaming at me from the moment I arrived to price things...
I forgot to take a pic before I started stripping...the chest that is. It had 3 drawers with some very plain Jane knobs. 

I converted the top drawer into a shelf for the DVR and such and spray painted her a turquoiseish color.  I'm on a hunt for the perfect knobs.
 I know what I want and it looks a little something like this...

I'm just not willing to pay 28 bucks a piece! OUTRAGEOUS! One knob would cost more than the $25.00 shelf itself.

Oh, yes... and I also purchased this little ditty for $3.00! I've been wanting a little something like a sidetable to put near my doorway. So this little cutie joined the turquoiseish club. The rest of my wood furniture in my apt. has an espresso finish. I thought this would compliment them well with my blueish/turquoiseish accents. 

Got any tips on knobs? Think I could make them?
